Luxury Wedding Planner Serving Vermont, New England, and Destinations Worldwide

Your Wedding Should Feel Unmistakably, Unapologetically You

You are not looking for a wedding that looks like everyone else’s. You want something that feels like the two of you walked in and said, yes, this is exactly us. Your wedding should feel like home. Like the best dinner party you ever threw, but bigger, more beautiful, and with someone else handling every single detail. That is exactly what we build.

Jaclyn Watson Events creates amazing destination weddings in Vermont, New England, and beyond.

Every wedding tells a story … we’d love to help you write yours.

Your wedding is the grand celebration of the next chapter of your life. It marks something truly special between two people. It’s a celebration for the people who love you and a chance to support your new beginnings. It’s a day like no other because there’s never been a story like yours.

About

Jackie

When you met the person you’re going to marry, they came with stories and a soul that you found matched yours. Weddings should be like this, too, full of soulful beauty and leaving everyone who attends with a story to tell about how fantastic the day was.

I approach each wedding with a desire to showcase your story through design elements and to make the planning process seamless and easy for you. I want you and your guests to experience a wedding that was even better than you could have imagined. Along the way, we’ll become friends …. Because when planning something this special, how could we not?

Remember tonight…for it is the beginning of always.

Wedding Cake Tip of the Day 🍰

Don’t forget the inside matters too. Choose a cake flavor you’d actually want to eat, not just one that looks pretty on the cake table. 🤍

Pretty + delicious = the real wedding cake standard.

#cake #weddingcakes #weddinginspo #weddingcake #couple
POV: You got engaged and thought, “We have plenty of time.” 💍

We say otherwise. 👀

My advice? Hire your wedding planner 8-12 months ahead because the best venues, vendors, and dates aren’t waiting around for your group chat to make a decision.

Plan early. Stress less. Romanticize the process. ✨

Future you, sipping champagne instead of panic-Googling vendors at midnight, will be very grateful. 🥂

Your wedding cake isn’t just dessert. It’s part of the design. 

Tip: Choose a cake that complements your florals, color palette, and venue. The prettiest cakes feel like they were always meant to be there.

What’s your cake style: vintage piping, textured buttercream, or sleek fondant? 🤍

Okay but butter yellow this year??? 💛✨

It feels like sunshine, fresh flowers, lemon sorbet, late summer dinners, and the happiest kind of wedding day all rolled into one color. We honestly just wanted to lighten up your feed a little today because this shade makes us smile every single time.

And the best part? It works with so many styles: garden parties, coastal weekends, European-inspired receptions, modern romance… we do it all.

More trending colors coming soon because we’re currently obsessed.
Now excuse us while we try to add butter yellow to everything. ☀️

I want to introduce you to my babies: 
Nomad. Brindle. Bailey. Hunter. 🤍🐾

Every wedding has its VIPs… and sometimes they come with four legs.

The sweet one.
The princess.
The troublemaker.
And the one built more like a small horse. 😂

Including your furry family members in your wedding day makes everything feel even more personal and memorable. From walking down the aisle to greeting guests at cocktail hour, they always end up stealing the show in the best way.

Thinking about including your dog (or other furry best friend) in your wedding weekend? We’d love to help make it happen seamlessly. 🐶✨

DM us to chat about incorporating your pets into your celebration. 🤍

How to be the best sibling (or the person they basically consider a sibling) on a wedding day:

Be the calm in the chaos. 🌪️
Carry at least 14 random things without asking questions. ❓
Make them laugh when the nerves hit. 😂
Protect their peace like it’s your full-time job. ✌️
Tell them how proud you are of them before the ceremony starts. 💍
Take the candid photos nobody else takes. 📸
Keep family drama at a safe distance. 🫯
Learn where the snacks are at all times. 🍰
Fix outfits, hold bouquets, fluff trains, find missing phones. 📱 
And most importantly… remind them to eat something before the champagne becomes breakfast. 🤍

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day 🤍
The best recipes are usually the simplest: good ingredients, a little patience, and lots of love. Sounds a lot like wedding design to us 🕯️🍽️✨

A beautiful wedding isn’t about piling everything on the table. It’s about choosing the details that make your guests feel something warm, familiar, and unforgettable… kinda like a fresh buttermilk biscuit straight from the oven 🧈

What’s one wedding detail you’d keep on your “recipe” no matter what? 👀

#weddinginspo #buttermilkbiscuits #love #design #plannerlife
The details are beautiful… but my favorite part will always be my clients and their reactions 🤍✨
Getting to stand beside them for moments like this feels a little unreal every time. 🫶

To the moms, the mother figures, the grandmothers, and the women who show up with so much love 🤍

Wedding days are just as emotional for you as they are for the couple…
and it never goes unnoticed.

This Mother’s Day weekend, we’re celebrating you 
and also holding space for those missing their mom, honoring them in quiet, beautiful ways 🤍

A few of my favorite ways to make moms feel special on your wedding day:
✨ Have the officiant acknowledge them by name during the ceremony
✨ It’s so meaningful when both parents walk their child down the aisle
✨ A gentle reminder: avoid white/ivory - let the couple have their moment 😉
✨ When mom is seated… you know it’s about to begin 🥹
✨ And that mother-son / father-daughter dance? Make it unforgettable

Because weddings aren’t just about two people -
they’re about the people who raised them, loved them, and got them here.

If you have a mom or mother figure in your life; celebrate her extra this weekend 🤍
And if you’re honoring one in your heart… we see you.

Engagement shoot prep guide:

1. Coordinate… don’t cosplay as identical twins.
2. Wear something you can actually breathe, walk, and flirt in.

There’s something about this moment: the in-between, the real, the unscripted that reminds me exactly why I do what I do 🤍

Wedding planning isn’t just timelines and logistics (though yes, I love those too). It’s about building a team that moves quietly behind the scenes, anticipating every moment before it happens… so couples can feel everything fully, without interruption.

I love planning weddings with my team because it’s never just “work.” It’s energy, trust, problem-solving on the fly, and celebrating love in its rawest, most human form. It’s the bride squeezing your hand, the groom exhaling because everything is handled… these are the moments you can’t manufacture.

I do this because I believe people deserve to be fully present on one of the most important days of their lives and I’ll always show up to make that happen ✨

A black and white moment where love feels like it’s been quietly rehearsing for forever 🖤🌿

National Picnic Day reminds us: the best celebrations don’t need walls. Just open skies, good company, and a table set wherever the story feels right - whether it’s an outdoor picnic or an outdoor wedding. 💍

Because at its core, every gathering is the same thing… people choosing each other, beautifully.

A wedding filled with color, pride, and the kind of energy you can feel through the screen.

Some stories deserve to be seen, felt, and celebrated. This is one of them. 🤍

Your wedding photos are forever… your patience during planning is not 😌📸

Top 3 things to keep in mind before you say “yes” to your photographer:
	1.	Personality matters. You’re basically third-wheeling with them all day… if they annoy you now, imagine them during your first kiss 😅
	2.	Style is everything. Light & airy vs. dark & moody isn’t just a filter… it’s a whole personality trait. Choose your vibe like you chose your partner.
	3.	Pricing counts. If it feels like a luxury car payment… just make sure you’re getting Ferrari energy 🚗✨

Pick wisely. Because after the cake is gone and the dance floor clears… your photos are what stay.
